From Department of No to Department of Risk With Jeff Posluns
You've Been Heard, Monday, October 19th, 2026
Traffic Tech's tech leader Jeff Posluns on business-owned projects, persistent capability funding and putting tech risk on the risk register.
Jeff Posluns, who runs technology at logistics firm Traffic Tech, argues that no project should start without a business owner who defines outcomes.
He advocates persistent funding of business capabilities, with run and lifecycle costs approved alongside the build, so technical debt does not stay invisible after go-live.
Technology risk is business risk, so he puts it on the enterprise risk register with named owners to avoid risks being accepted by default.
He sets measures and stop points up front, insists CIOs need real technical depth, and answers unreasonable requests as the Department of Risk with a GRC assessment.
